IOS 18.3 and its impact on the mail problem for iPhone users

The whole thing is just rubbish. I can’t see my other mailboxes or accounts, I have hotel bookings that I need to access but my folders have gone. Absolutely pathetic rubbish. It is the most hateful thing yet.

Here's an iOS 18.3 specific problem for the Mail app: Flagged messages show up differently depending on how I attempt to find them. If I go to the list of all mailboxes, it shows me one number (in my case 9), and if I select the Flagged mailbox, yes there are 9 there. If I search for "Flagged" messages in the search function and click on "All Messages" it shows me a different number (in my case 10) which is the correct number. How can this be?

If I go to the Mail program using mac OS Sequoia 18.3 on my MacBook Pro, it shows the correct number of 10. Apple should fix this issue among the others being reported.

All flagged messages do not stay in the mail box. After a day or so they go to the flagged box.

It is very inconvenient to have them disappear as often they are used to call attention to something that

needs to be done in the near future. This happened on my iPad after the last update 18.3.1

This needs to be fixed!!!!

I’ve had the same issue since 18.3.1. That & trouble with searching emails. I can get to the search function but the search bar disappears after typing 1 letter or sometimes none at all. None of the suggestions I’ve read have help so far. Mine is with the iPhone…hopefully you’ve had better luck with the iPad!

And the problem is?

No. It did not fix my mail problem

I actually wonder if Apple knows this problem or if they pretend they don't know so that they don't have to solve it.

They of course know. It's just pure shame for them. When you think that their founder always thought putting the customer at the center of things was the best way to go...

What a joke.

Same here. Unable to reply forward or even create new messages and send in Outlook.

Same for me. Mail was working fine until the 18.3 update. I rely heavily on my mobile email so now have to consider alternatives to Apple - never thought I'd ever say that!

My phone updated to 18.3 automatically last night. The mail experience is significantly degraded.

I have had All of my adult content removed from my email and I am not receiving any new adult content email. I s there a feature in settings to correct this?

Me to …which provider do you have ?

Does not work for me.

Also, SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a different protocol from IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol).
